"The court keeps going for now. I have something to discuss with the court." Princess Xian'an asked directly without saying too much nonsense, "I plan to attack Geluo next year, but I don't know if the court has a chance of winning?"

Whether the Khan can convince the public in a country like the Uighurs depends on whether he can win benefits for his subordinates. This kind of interests is often based on plunder. There are only a few countries around the Uighurs. The cold and barren Siberian plains to the north, the same desolate to the east, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo to the south, one is its own mother country, and the other is strong, so the weaker Geluo to the west becomes the best choice.

Moreover, Geluo had defeated the Uighurs with Tubo before. If he could defeat the enemy who had defeated Jie Yugas, then Princess Xian'an and the New Khan would definitely have a great rise in prestige, so he would firmly sit in the throne.

Because this operation is very critical and failure is absolutely not allowed, Princess Xian'an is not very relieved by relying on the strength of the Uighurs alone, so she put her hope on Chen Long.

"Please rest assured that Princess Guo and Yang Protectors have already begun to prepare for the relevant matters of attacking Gelulu. Now our Beiting Protectorate and Anxi Protectorate are sharply equipped. If there is a support from the Uighur army, we will definitely win this battle!" Chen Long answered without hesitation. When we attacked Tingzhou together, the Uighur army was the main force, and this time the commander must be the Tang Dynasty.

Princess Xian'an had no objection to the leadership of the Tang Dynasty. Guo Xin was the prince of Wuwei, the great captain of Anxi, and Yang Xigu was the great captain of Beiting. As long as it was not sent Jie Yujiasi, the Uighur generals who went to lead the troops this time would definitely be below them. Princess Xian'an would never let Jie Yujiasi, the fierce tiger, go to lead the troops.

"It's so good. I will send capable generals to lead the troops at that time." Princess Xian'an felt relieved, discussed with Shen Long, and gave Guo Xin, Yang Xigu and Chen Long a lot of gifts, asking Wei Yuanfang to follow Chen Long back to the Western Regions with these gifts.

Returning to the Western Regions, Guo Xin and Yang Xigu were very happy after hearing about the changes in the political situation of the Uighurs. "Princess Xian'an is a true hero, and from now on, I will be worry-free in the north of the Tang Dynasty!" With Princess Xian'an controlling the Uighurs, the Tang Dynasty could feel at ease to mobilize troops from the north to move westward to concentrate on dealing with Tubo.

Not only will Tubo's attention be attracted to the junction of the East and the Tang Dynasty, but even the vassal states in the north of the Tang Dynasty will restrain one or two. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs will attack each other from the north and south, and they will face the danger of demise.

In addition to feeling, Guo Xin, Yang Xigu, Chen Long and Wei Yuanfang began to discuss strategies to deal with Gelulu. Gelulu had three surnames, one was called Taolu, or Taola; one was called Chishi, or Pofu; the other was called down-to-earth power, so in literature, they were often called the three surnames, Gelulu. They can be said to be typical fence-bearers, and they would submit to the other side with strong power.

It was first attached to the Turkic Khanate. After the rise of Xueyantuo Khan, the general of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Kan of the Tang Dynasty, Geluo belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Later, the Tang Dynasty used the Mouluo tribe as the Yinshan Governor's Office, the Chiqi tribe as the Damo Governor's Office, and the Dingli Li tribe as the Xuanchi Governor's Office. Later, it divided the Damo Prefecture of the Chiqi tribe into the Jinfu Prefecture Governor's Office. The three surnames were between the East and West Turks, and often rebelled and did not always follow the rise and fall of the East and West Turks.

After the rise of the Uighurs, the Geluo tribe in Wude Mountain returned to the Uighurs, and the Geluo in Altai Mountain and Beiting area established Yehu and belonged to the Tang Dynasty. During the Battle of Talas, Geluo betrayed the Tang Dynasty and mixed up with the Black-clothed and Big Food.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang army in the Western Regions withdrew from the Central Plains, Geluo became strong, gradually replaced Tuqishi, and occupied the former land of the Western Turks in the Chu River Basin, including the famous Suye City and Talas City. Not long ago, they and the Tubo people allied forces to defeat the Uighur coalition led by Jie Yugas.

Yang Xigu also participated in the war and returned in a great defeat. He lost Tingzhou City and retreated to Xizhou City with only more than 2,000 remaining soldiers. It was not until Chen Long came to the Tang Dynasty that he helped him regain Xizhou. Therefore, it was not only the Uighurs who wanted to take revenge this time, but Yang Xigu was also very eager for this.

He pointed to the map and said, "We have now taken down Tingzhou, Yizhou, and Yanqi, blocking the passage of Tubo to support Geluo. If Tubo wants to assist Geluo, he can only cross the Pamir Mountains. The Pamir Mountains are dangerous and have difficulty in supplying. Even if the Tubo people want to come, there will not be many people!"

"As long as we can take Shule and block the route to Tubo north, then Geluo can only fight alone!" Guo Xin pointed to the location of Shule City and said, "So when the war begins next year, the Protector will lead his army westward to take Shule City!"

Shule, Khotan, Kucha and Yanqi are one of the four towns in Anxi. They have always been the sphere of influence of the Anxi Protectorate. Guo Xin has wanted to recapture Shule for a long time.

"If we can take down Shule, we will be able to connect with Bahanna, and we can support Bahanna's weapons and food, so that they can go from southwest to north and south to attack Geluo together." Chen Long added that Bahanna was Dayuan during the Han Dynasty. They were die-hard fans of the Tang Dynasty. Every time Anxi Protectorate's Mansion went on an expedition, they would fight with Datang.

Whether it was the Battle of Big and Big Bolu in the Western Regions or the Battle of Talas, Bakhanna stood firmly on the side of the Tang Dynasty. Even after the Anshi Rebellion broke out, they organized their troops and the army of the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion to return to the Tang Dynasty to attack An Lushan's rebels. Even their prince, Ye Hu, died on the land of the Central Plains.

Of course, Chen Long would not forget that he had sent Kang Guangde to establish contact with the king of Bahanna and gave them armor and weapons. The king of Bahanna also reciprocates and sent several sweat-blooded horses to Chen Long. Although Chen Long had ridden many horses, he had never ridden a real sweat-blooded horse.

When Chen Long saw such a gift, he was overjoyed and rode out every day to enjoy it. The sweat-blooded BMW did not disappoint Chen Long. It ran like the wind. Compared with the war horses Shen Long rode before, it was like the difference between a Ferrari and an ordinary car, which was simply incomparable.

After the discussions of several parties ended, they went back to prepare. Chen Long stayed in Tingzhou to continue training the Hanhai Army. Guo Xin returned to Kucha and sent people to investigate the situation of Gelulu, especially the news about Shule City. Yang Xigu was alert to the movements of Tubo in the east, while Princess Xian'an began to consider attacking Gelulu's military candidates.

Winter is coming and spring is coming, and it is a new year. When the weather is warming and the pasture is plump, the Uighur army finally arrived in Tingzhou, and the plan to attack Geluo can begin.
